Steer away from oily food and stomach problems like acidity and indigestion, and end Navratri fasting in a healthy way.

Don't break your fast with fried food and high calory sweet. They may lead to constipation. Begin with light food.

Break your fast with fresh fruits and juice without adding refined sugar. If you were taking it during fasts, substitute it with a plate of green and leafy salad with curd.

It is very important to add a bowl of plain curd in your diet after the fasts. Curd is full of nutrients and probiotics.

Once your appetite gets stronger, add grains and pulses in addition to veggies.

Beware of overeating. Eat small portions every two or three hours. Avoid spicy and oily food.

Drink water half an hour before or after meal. Don't substitute it with any other fluid.

You can slowly add nuts to your meal plan after starting having carbs.

When your body gets use to these simple foods only then start incorporating dairy products and non-vegetarian food. Keep yourself hydrated well with water and other natural fluids throughout the day.

Scientifically fasting is a cleansing process of the body. It should not be reloaded with heavy and unhealthy food immediately. Eat simple and light food and stay healthy.
